    Defraud rich people? Go to jail.

    Defraud the rest of us? Get promoted to CEO.

      He didn’t defraud the rich lol. The exchange was one of the most popular among cryptocurrency users. There are no minimum and no sign up fees. The number of people he defrauded is probably in the millions.

      If anything, knowing crypto, the rich almost certainly had insider knowledge and withdrew their funds before everything collapsed.

      That was his real crime. He stole rich people money. Where’s the CEO of bitconnect? Not in jail, I can tell you that.

    Dude wanted to build a bunker for a possible “Apocalypse”. Another delusional billionaire. Glad this guy got caught.

      Now, delusion aside, I don’t know why some want to be around in a post-apocalyptic world.

      Especially as a billionaire, which wouldn’t make a difference after a catastrophic collapse of the financial system.

    “I’d like to request that jail be delayed, pending the outcome of my other request.”

    Wow. That’s some circular shit. No wonder they said no.
